I love all tapes of the " Batman and Robin Adventures",
but I think this one is the best. I loved the character of
the Penguin and his umbrellas. I gave four stars, because
there are better episodes of Batman and the nice figure
Penguin......

The Penguin in the Dini-produced Batman animated series has a spiritual malignancy that should repulse just about anyone. Given, he retaliates against a society which has rejected him due to his physical appearance (the design and the demeanor of the character owes more than a little to the live action BATMAN RETURNS), but Dini assures us that the Penguin's intellect could have flourished under other circumstances. His hurt pride, however, leads him to behavior that engenders little sympathy with the audience.
"Almost Got 'Im," featured on this tape, offers a fun examination of how various members of the Gotham City Rogues Gallery view their own powers and abilities; the resulting character deflation makes for good fun.
Just a quick note here (I've added this comment to every tape in this series I have reviewed)--while I think the Dini-produced animated Batman has been one of the hallmarks of 90s animation, I do not advise buying the tapes in this series because they are not recorded in SP mode. You will get fuzzy pictures and sound. It is a shame that these excellent programs do not get the packaging they deserve.

Almost Got I'm is about all of this villans in a group. They sit at a round table telling story's about the time they had a fight with Batman. The villans were The Joker, Two-Face, Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, and The Penguin. But, batman is dressed up as Killer Croc.

This is the best movie in the Batman and robin series and the Penguin is the best villain.

Very disappointing...I didn't really like the Penguin's character to begin with but this video really doesn't help his cause all that much. I love the animated series and have collected all of them. I watch them with great interest but this one actually put me to sleep...I guess I can't really describe how boring these episodes were with words. If you would like to see the lamest episodes..please be my guest..but if you would like to see how great this animated series really is..check out the riddler, batman and practically any other tape...sorry WB..this one just didn't make the cut and should be given away in a buy one get one free sort of deal..what a waste of money..how sad for such a good collection of tapes....
